emergencies affecting children and adults, help you recognize signs and
symptoms, and teach you how to render appropriate emergency care. For

Are You Aware of the New Rules and
Requirements for Real Estate Professionals?
Let Triton help you update your license.
The new law changes the license categories under the Real Estate License Act of 2000 from
Salesperson and Broker to Broker and Managing Broker. The status of Real Estate Salesperson has
been discontinued. The term “broker” is what the public identifies with when it comes to the real
estate licensee they work with in a transaction. The term “managing broker” clearly identifies the
person(s) in the brokerage operation that have management authority and responsibility.

Broker

Frequently Asked Questions

• Increases the entry-level of licensure – now “broker” –
from 45 hours of pre-license courses to 90 hours of prelicense courses.
• Provides that 15 of those hours shall be “situational”
offerings in a classroom or interactive setting.
• Requires brokers to take 30 hours of post-licensure education within the first renewal period. 15 of those hours
must be situational in an interactive setting.
• Requires 12 hours of continuing education (CE) each
renewal period (except the first period when the 30 hours
of post-license coursework are taken).

Managing Broker
• The current top category of licensure – “broker” – requires
120 hours of licensure (salesperson plus 45 hours). This bill
creates the new category of “managing broker,” and
requires managing brokers to have 165 pre-license hours
(the 120 broker hours, plus a 45 hour course of study
focusing on management of an office, supervision of
licensees, and administrative issues; 15 of those 45 hours
would be situational offerings in an interactive setting).
• Managing brokers would have to take the 12 hours per
renewal of broker CE, plus an additional 12 hours of CE
on broker management.

Enroll in Triton’s Real Estate
Academy:
Two courses are available depending on your current status. (All courses include the required 15 hour interactive
component)
1. If your Illinois Real Estate Salesperson license has
expired or if you have never held a Real Estate
License, you can take the 90 hour Broker Pre-License
class, RES E13.
2. If you are a currently Licensed Real Estate Broker,
you can transition to Managing Broker by taking the
45 hour Managing Broker Pre-License class, RES E17.

Do I need to worry about the
conversion right now?
Please visit www.idfpr.com/ for
more information on the transition
process.
What are the new license categories under the revised Act?
Two main categories of licensure
will exist under the revised Act:
a) Managing Broker
b) Broker
There are no changes to the Leasing
agent requirements.
I am a real estate salesperson
with an active license. How long
will my license remain in effect?
The expiration date on all activelylicensed real estate salesperson
licenses was extended an additional
year and expired April 30, 2012.
I am a real estate salesperson
who did not renew my license
in 2009. Can I still renew my
license?
No, the cut off date was April 30,
2011. You will need to meet the
requirements of a new licensee.
Can I obtain a managing broker
license and not manage an
office?
Yes, just the same as brokers did
under the old license law. However
only licensed managing brokers designated with the Department as a
managing broker by their sponsoring broker can advertise themselves
to the public as a managing broker.

Where is more information
available on the new Act?
The revised Real Estate License Act
of 2000 is available at
www.idfpr.com/DPR/RE/REALEST.asp

English as a Second Language

Academic Navigations Workshop

English as a Second Language (ESL) is designed for non-native
English speaking adults to build reading, writing, listening and
speaking skills. Class times meet the needs of working adults in the
morning, afternoon and in the evening. Some Saturday classes are
also available. In addition, the ESL Program offers free Citizenship
courses. As classes tend to fill up quickly, registering early is strongly advised.

This program is intended for ESL students who have completed the
regular ESL program, tested out of the ESL program, or other students wanting to improve their skills in academic reading and writing. It is a fee-based program.

For more information, please call (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3513.

The Access to Literacy Program is designed to help adults develop
basic reading, writing and math skills. A component of this program is the ESL preparation program for Spanish speakers.
Volunteer tutors are trained to assist students in small group or
individual tutoring sessions. A computer lab is also available to provide additional support.

High School Equivalency
This program provides classes that prepare students to take the
GED® (high school equivalency) examination. Students are given a
placement test to determine the level of classes needed. The GED®
classes are offered in both English and Spanish. Classes are held in
the morning and evenings at Triton and throughout the community. These programs are also designed for adults who do not have
high school diploma or who wish to develop their basic skills.
